Today’s AI news highlights advancements and ethical considerations. Nvidia has introduced new ‘Cosmos’ world models, designed to enhance robotic capabilities by improving their understanding and interaction with environments. Simultaneously, Illinois has moved to restrict the use of AI in medical contexts, requiring clinician oversight to ensure patient safety and prevent algorithmic bias. On the research front, Google AI is reporting progress in reducing the data requirements for training large language models (LLMs), potentially lowering computational costs and energy consumption. Finally, a recent study revealed that AI tools utilized by English councils tend to minimize or inadequately address women’s health concerns, raising questions about fairness and representation in AI-driven public services.
